Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

This paper considers potential import routes for low-carbon and renewable hydrogen (H2) to main European markets like Germany. In particular, it analyses claims made by Hydrogen Europe and subsequently picked up by the European Commission in its Hydrogen Strategy that there will be 40GW of...

This paper contains 20 short articles which outline the views of OIES research fellows on some of the key themes for the global energy economy in 2022. Starting with views on the short-term outlook for oil, electricity and gas markets, the articles move on to cover LNG supply and Russian export...

This paper analyses the impact of supply technology choices and costs on structures and prices on the emerging low-carbon hydrogen market using a novel, integrated natural gas and hydrogen market model. It shows that natural gas-based low-carbon hydrogen production pathways predominate in...

Mit einem jährlichen Investitionsvolumen von knapp 500 Milliarden Euro geht von der öffentlichen Beschaffungin Deutschland ein enormes Potenzial für den Erwerb klimafreundlicher Produkte und Dienstleistungen aus. Auf diese Weise können durch öffentliche Investitionen nicht nur...

Green hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in decarbonising energy systems globally, yet its deployment remains low. In order to achieve greater roll-out of green hydrogen projects its value should be determined and used to advise industry and policy-makers. Real options (RO)...

We perform a model-based analysis of the impact of a renewable hydrogen quota on EU gas and electricity markets. By comparing a scenario in which a renewable hydrogen quota with tradable certificates is imposed on final gas consumption in the sectors of the economy outside the EU ETS with a...

In the transition to decarbonized energy systems, Power-to-Gas (PtG) processes have the potential to connect the existing markets for electricity and hydrogen. Specifically, reversible PtG systems can convert electricity to hydrogen at times of ample power supply, yet they can also operate in...

Das Thema Wasserstoff wird seit längerem diskutiert, doch jüngst hat es im Zuge des Corona-Konjunkturpakets des Bundes einen spürbaren Bedeutungszuwachs erfahren. Eine Wasserstoffwirtschaft verspricht die notwendige nachhaltige Transformation der Wirtschaft bei gleichzeitigem Erhalt der...

Raw material criticality has played an important role in geostrategic thinking, especially since the crisis surrounding the price and supply of rare earths at the beginning of the 2010s. However, once dependency and strategic importance grow too strong, substitution efforts will take place that...

The majority penetration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) will challenge the stability of electrical transmission grids due to unpredictable peaks and troughs of VRE generation. With renewable generation located further from high demand urban cores, there will be a need to develop new...

Industry is a critical sector for the achievement of European climate goals, in particular specific energy-intensive products/processes (e.g. steel, cement, ethylene, ammonia). A reduction target of over 90% for industry requires a wide variety of reduction options. While the EU Low-Carbon...

The interaction of LiN(SiMe 3 ) 2 with one equivalent of 1,3- or 1,4-dicyanobenzene followed by the addition of one equivalent of chlorodiphenylphosphine and oxidation by hydrogen peroxide gave charge-assisted hydrogen bond supramolecular polymeric structure compounds of the general formula...

Hydrogen is currently enjoying a renewed and widespread momentum in the energy market. In the last years, demand for hydrogen has substantially increased worldwide, with several countries developing hydrogen national strategies, and private companies investing in the development of hydrogen...

Die Emscher-Lippe Region ist seit vielen Jahren von einer intensiven wirtschaftlichen Transformation geprägt. Die fortschreitende De-Industrialisierung bzw. die Neuorientierung der Industrie nach dem Wegfall der Kohle- und Stahlindustrie stellt regionale Entscheidungsträger vor große...

Zur Erreichung der Klimaschutzziele ist der Einsatz von Wasserstoff aus heutiger Sicht unumgänglich. Zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt aber spielt Wasserstoff für die Direktnutzung sowie zur Weiterverarbeitung im Energiesystem noch kaum eine Rolle. CO2-freier Wasserstoff, der auf Basis erneuerbarer...

In the future, green hydrogen-hydrogen produced with renewable energy resources-could provide developing countries with a zero-carbon energy carrier to support national sustainable energy objectives, and it needs further consideration by policy makers and investors. Developing countries with...

The role of gases in the energy transition is a different, and much more immediate, issue in the EU, compared with other global regions. Net zero targets for 2050 mean that in order to retain the gas market and the extensive network infrastructure which has been developed, zero carbon gases will...

Russia is the world's largest gas exporter and Germany is its most important market. Moreover, natural gas is a centerpiece of the Russian economy and the backbone of its energy supply to the Russian population. In terms of its external gas relations, Germany has always kept a special and...

As part of the decarbonisation of the global economy, low-carbon hydrogen is expected to play acentral role in future energy systems. This article presents a comprehensive approach for estimating thedevelopment of global production and supply costs of low-carbon hydrogen from renewable energy...

What factors determine whether it is optimal with one or more technologies in a decarbonized road transport sector, and what policies should governments choose? We investigate these questions theoretically and numerically through a static, partial equilibrium model for the road transport market....

The integration of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, especially fuel cell systems, into buildings have attracted a lot of interest these last years. It is due to their higher efficiency, cleanliness and their capability for producing both valuable thermal energy and electricity, from a...

A thermodynamic combustion model developed in AVL BOOST software was used in order to evaluate the pollutant emissions, performance and efficiency parameters of a spark ignition engine Renault K7M-710 fueled with compressed natural gas, hydrogen and blends of compressed natural gas and hydrogen...
